Tremors, on the other hand, is a five-star three-star movie. It doesn’t aim as high as, say, Born on the Fourth of July, the 1989 holdover that topped the box office the week of Tremors’ release. (Tremors landed in fourth spot, behind Internal Affairs in its fourth week of release.) Instead, it sizes up a slightly less lofty target—a 1950s monster movie with a modern blockbuster sensibility made on a budget with appealing stars and fun effects—and hits it squarely. In pursuing old reviews of the film, I did not encounter any that rated Tremors higher than three stars. This is absolutely correct, even if it does not fully capture Tremors’ appeal. It’s not a great movie but it’s a perfect good movie.

I wrote, “part of the reason i don’t use star ratings on Letterboxd is that they can’t account for a five-star three-star movie like Twister.” It’s actually a joke I’ve made in various forms before. I certainly didn’t think I was being that clever. But clearly it was funny enough to warrant a response from the official Letterboxd account: an image of Don Draper putting on display the movie logging platform’s cute little orange “like” heart.
